Correct score prediction: Birmingham 1-2 Swansea
After a bright start to the campaign, Birmingham have endured a torrid time at both ends of the pitch lately.
Swansea will be keen to do their struggling hosts no favour, and we are tipping the Welsh outfit to come out on top by the odd goal.
Pre-game odds and win probability: Birmingham fancied despite recent struggles
HOME: 17/20 (1.85) – 54.1%DRAW: 23/10 (3.30) – 30.3%AWAY: 10/3 (4.33) – 23.1%*Odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
Given how underwhelming Birmingham have been lately, a 54.1% win probability is a tad generous against a Swansea outfit unbeaten in league action since the opening weekend.
Birmingham were powerless to stop Stoke City claiming all three points when the teams met last time out, with a Bosun Lawal strike in the 21st minute proving to be the difference.
Picking up arguably their most impressive result of the season so far, Swansea showed great mettle to knock out Premier League opponents Nottingham Forest in Wednesday's EFL Cup third-round tie.
An Igor Jesus brace in the first half left Alan Sheehan's men seemingly down and out before Carlo Burgess' double either side of a Zan Vipotnik leveller sparked wild celebrations at full time.
